Johnson, Scaife miss another minicamp

The Titans begin another week of minicamp on Tuesday morning and will once again do so without running back Chris Johnson. The reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year continues to work out with a trainer in Florida. He also skipped the first minicamp in April.

Johnson wants a new contract. In January he told The Tennessean he’d like to be the league’s highest paid offensive player.

Tight end Bo Scaife will also be absent Tuesday. He signed a $4.9 million tender in March but has skipped the team’s offseason program to work out with a personal trainer in Denver. (On Tuesday morning he told 104.5-FM’s “The Wake-Up Zone” he plans to report sometime in early June). Linebacker Stephen Tulloch also is expected to skip this week’s minicamp.

The Titans are also scheduled to have minicamps the weeks of May 17 and May 24 and two more weeks in June.
